No wonder people come and go here, if you don't know all the rules and regulations by your first edit and you make some mistakes, whether typographical, procedural, or even factual, you get others who right away jump down your throat and start accusing you of vandalism, or hiding from the truth, or what-not. Yet their actions of harassment, uncooperative demeanor, and non-fact editing goes unnoticed due to their "Evasion and Diversion Tactics" to manipulate events. Distraction from one's actions and inability to "play nice" should not be the norm here.
